So, which of these do you believe the more likely?

1 - Some obscure bug in filePro that not only prevents @keyO from being 
triggered when the user presses 'O', but only in some sessions.  And, not 
only does 'O' not trigger @keyO, but a MENU command which goes to the @keyO 
handler if the user presses 'O' will also not go to @keyO.

2 - The processing in the @keyO handler can skip the POPUP UPDATE in some 
circumstances.
